Reviews for Gamma TNT 16G (360 ft.) REEL

Great Feel, Easy on the Arm, Not so durable.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I've been using Gamma TNT for 10+ years and can't find a better string. I've tried switching to poly and hybrids but can't get the playability that I want (often with some arm injury/fatigue). Stung tightly, this string gives me power when I want and a soft touch when needed.

String Review
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I wouldn't say that it is a super spin string, but since using it in my Clash 100, I've had no elbow problems. It seems to pocket well on the string bed, sounds explosive, and lasts a pretty long time.

Great feel and power
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I really love this string. It has a good balance of the elasticity of synthetic gut but a softer feel like a multifilament. I don’t struggle as much for power with this string versus a multifilament.

Great Playability - Excellent Value!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I got a set of Gamma Syn. Gut 16g with the X-ST stringer I bought from Midwest Sports. Truth be told, it sat in a drawer for months until I decided to string it in a 14 yr. old Pure Control Team I keep at my in-laws. It sat over there for a year after I strung it before I took it out during a visit. I have to say I was more than pleasantly surprised at its feel and playability; so much so that I brought the racquet back home with me to use more b/c I liked the feel so much. ~50 hrs. of court time later and it's still going strong . For the price, this is a great all around synthetic. Highly recommended if you're looking for a no-nonsense string. This is a great playing string and a tremendous value at this price.

Strings

Was having trouble keeping strings in racquet. A friend put me on to these about five years ago. He too, played with a wide body racquet, and the durability of these are great. I have since changed racquets (about one year ago), no longer a wide body, and use these in the new one. Love the feel these strings give for drops, spins, overheads, just all shots. The durability is the best for me.

This is a great string. It looses tension quick so I would account for that in the stringing unless you are going hybrid or per-streching them

Prince Topspin Duraflex
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

About 15 years ago I tried many topspin strings and settled on Prince topspin. Then I discovered the Duraflex (PTD) version and it lasts twice as long -it's very forgiving and generates power when you have to. The string gives me good bite on the ball and gets it over the net but in the court. I've tried other hot-shot strings that the 'pros play with' that gave me more power but no control and also can't stand the metallic titanium feel - the guys who recommended those 'power' strings all have shoulder problems!. So back to PTD and all's well. Just ordered a dozen packs for the year.

This is probably the best synthetic string money can buy. The 17 version feels just like a natural gut. Keeps tension well. Lasts fairly long with denser string patterns; breaks rather quickly with very open string patters. I tried at least 2 dozen different strings. But since I tried this I'm fully committed to the Gamma Professional 17.

Prince Syn Gut 17G is a great buy. I hit flat with a head light racket and this string feels soft and provides great control when strung at 58 lbs. I wouldn't say that the playing properties last as long as other more expensive strings or that it provides maximum power but you can't beat the price and it will relieve some of the stress on your arm produced by stiffer strings.

I love this string. I usually string my racquets with poly mains and Gosen Proform on my cross strings, and o love the durability and the feel. It is a very good string to string and for the money you can't beat it. I string a lot of the guys I play tennis with during the week of all levels, and they love it. I have used this string for at least ten years, and I have nothing bad to say about it.

Really great strings, do all they promise. Great feel, touch and control with good power. They absolutely bite the ball, and stop hard serves like a catcher's mitt -- return them like a curve ball. We've all seen how pros sometimes hit a ball wide by a foot or more that curls back into court, these strings have that kind of controlled spin. Will put on all my racquets eventually.

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Gosen makes a quality made in Japan single core synthetic gut comparable to prince synthetic gut and other well known synthetic guts. I use it as a cross string in a poly/synthetic gut hybrid. The white version is a bit stiffer than the natural colored one. So if you prefer a softer string, get the natural color. I get a bit more spin on my serve using the 17 vs the 16 gauge.

Great feel, Good spin, not for a frequent string breaker. I am a 57 year old 3.5 -4 level doubles player playing 4 times per week. I tried poly for one match and took it out right after, it was to hard on my arm and no feel. Gamma syn gut has the right balance of feel and spin and it is easy on my arm. I would recommend giving it a try if you do not like polyester and are not a frequent string breaker.

My wife has played this string for a decade. After an arm injury I decided to go away from the polyester hybrid I've been using for years. To my surprise I still find plenty of spin with these strings and overall my control and feel are much improved. I honestly like these strings better than the polys... there is a bit less spin than those offer, but the feel, control, depth and overall touch are all better... In the end this string is pretty hard to beat.
